- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Earl Shilton. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Earl Shilton
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Landlord and trade work in Earl Shilton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Earl Shilton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
